Binturong vs. Panther

This morning as I was going through the news, one of which that caught my interest was "Bearcar escapes from zoo" - smh.com.au

Bearcat, also known as the Binturong to us back home, escaped from its new enclosure and went for an exploration nearby. Spotted by a motorist, as it crosses the road up to a tree. Police was informed and thought it was a Panther. The male binturong was safely escorted back to the zoo.

Here is where I feel the story lies:
When interviewing Acting Supervisor of the Zoo, she said this:
"And he (binturong) just had a bit of an explore, and you know what, I give it to him, he did a good job of getting out of that exhibit because we certainly had done everything we thought we could to make it as escape-proof as possible,"

It obviously wasn't escape-proof...
so Don't give me this type of bullshit trying to give credits to the animal when it was your failed responsibility. This is only a binturong. Imagine if it was a Panther? Wouldn't that be exciting? With the weather hot like this, leaving your balcony doors or windows open for air-circulation is a norm. Having a panther visiting your room while you sleeping. Priceless...

Seems like everybody has a "reason"/excuse on everything that's happening.. Almost similar to a political debate. With all the recent elections debate happening, I've started to realise how many people uses various technique of word play to divert curly questions or to cover up the mistakes committed. By praising or glorifying a neutral party to divert the attention off oneself. How clever... Not! People will know the truth... Intelligent people can see through this. So what do you know...

By the way, this is a picture of the bearcat aka Binturong vs. a common black Panther:

Would you know the difference at 1.45am in the morning?? Good Luck~
